Chemical Reactions

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Chemical Reactions lesson plan also includes:
  • Project
  • Join to access all included materials

Learners work in groups to define chemistry vocabulary including the terms reactants, products, exothermic and endothermic. They then combine the group definitions to arrive at a consensus definition for the class. Students also listen to a lecture, compose journal entries and discuss textbook readings.
